Abstract
Implication Statement
On March 4, 2021, OSLER Kingston and KHealth, student-run organizations at Queen’s Faculty of Health Sciences, hosted a two-hour-long virtual interprofessional case competition called “OSLER x KHealth IPR Case Competition: Homelessness,” focusing on housing insecurity and homelessness. This event demonstrated that integrating interprofessional education (IPE) competencies into educational experiences of health professional students is feasible to organize and implement while also being valuable. Students who participated found IPE to be helpful for their learning. Consequently, we encourage medical school curriculum leaders and student-led groups to prioritize IPE in their preclerkship curricular and extracurricular offerings.
Résumé
Énoncé des implications de la recherche
Le 4 mars 2021, OSLER Kingston et KHealth, deux organisations étudiantes de la Faculté des sciences de la santé de l’Université Queen’s, ont organisé un concours virtuel de cas interprofessionnels d’une durée de deux heures intitulé « OSLER x KHealth IPR Case Competition : Homelessness », qui portait sur l’insécurité du logement et l’itinérance. Cette activité a montré qu’il est non seulement possible, mais aussi utile d’intégrer les compétences en formation interprofessionnelle (FIP) dans le parcours d’apprentissage des étudiants des professions de la santé. Les étudiants qui y ont participé ont trouvé que la FIP était utile à leur apprentissage. Nous encourageons donc les responsables de programme des facultés de médecine et les organisations étudiantes à donner la priorité à la FIP dans leurs activités de prexternat et hors programme.
